I guess we were unpleasantly discordant. How surprising.
"I am that worst of all type of criminal...I cannot bring myself to do what you tell me, because you told me."

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

I guess we're just not notable enough for Modern Discordia.

Seriously though, I was actually never asked to participate. Not that I would have even before the Uncle BadTouch nonsense, I believe some things are better off left to the imagination, spurious rumour and purposeful disinformation, but even being asked would've been nice.

Well, more HIMEOBS would have been nice in that case. I understand if it was hard to find something that doesn't exist, though.

When Placid Dingo was doing an intermittens way back in the day, I volunteered.  His response was that my stuff wasn't good enough for public consumption.  Whether or not that is true, and hell, it might be, he very deliberately chose to make it a slam, and he and I didn't know each other from Adam at that point.

So I had already hated him for years and the Uncle BadTouch business was humor from the get-go.  He wasn't after Discordian thought, he was out to put himself in the center of the Discordian thought.  It was a 100% vanity project; your work would have taken the spotlight off of him.  So he went to a weird pedo wannabe cult leader.

I would glass the sun itself, if it offended me.

It's a gonzo style book about his encounters with various cabals. Brenton is in it, but most of the text is the people he's talking to. And the places where he actually does talk about Uncle BadTouch are super embarassing for Uncle BadTouch, the book is not a fan of him. I thought it was very interesting to read a bunch of boots-on-the-ground accounts of what other in-person practicing Discordians are like. There isn't a lot of coherent information out there about how Discordianism is actually practiced. I thought it was a good read. And I'm not just saying that because my cabal's in the New York section.

anyway, that's my opinion
